Krista & David — For like ever

Despite of what you’ll see in this wed­ding film, David doesn’t play the piano. Actu­ally, David’s not even a musi­cian. But David loves Krista very much, and when he let us in on the big sur­prise he was plan­ning for their big day, we knew it would be magical.

Krista con­tacted us almost a year ago to cap­ture her June 1st fes­tiv­i­ties. Right off the bat, she told us it would be a very per­sonal, very emo­tional, and very teary day — need­less to say, we were intrigued. Over the next few months, we e-mailed back and forth about her and David’s plans for their day, how they met, what they like to do together, and more often than not, wed­ding stuff (Krista her­self is an infinitely-talented wed­ding plan­ner and owner of KJ & Co.). She’s also been actively blog­ging about the jour­ney lead­ing up to her wed­ding day over at Wed­ding Obses­sion, don­ning the #for­li­keever hash­tag for her and David along the way.

Being the busy lady that she is, we didn’t have a face-to-face meet­ing with Krista until ear­lier in the spring (despite of the fact that we live 5 min­utes away from each other). But when we finally sat down for a cof­fee, she told us about a hockey game that David and the grooms­men were plan­ning a cou­ple of days before the wed­ding. We knew David loved hockey, but more impor­tantly, we recalled an e-mail in which Krista said that David works hard and plays hard — he’s very active and involved with sports, while she’s more laid back. We thought the hockey game would be the per­fect way to demon­strate this ele­ment of their dynamic, and asked to tag along.

A few weeks after that meet­ing, David shot us over an e-mail to fill us in on his big sur­prise. His friend had been teach­ing him how to play the Bea­t­les’ “All you need is love” on the piano, and he would be per­form­ing it for Krista at their recep­tion. We were beam­ing with excitement.

By the time their wed­ding day arrived, Krista and David had shared so much with us that we knew exactly how we wanted to struc­ture their film and what shots would tell their story best (we’re pretty metic­u­lous plan­ners). And while we could write and write about these two, we’ll just let you watch their wed­ding film and bask in the beauty of their spe­cial day!
